| 4 | Gum Infection | I have not met with any side effects. I am on day 3 of a 5 day course and the swelling in my gum is going down nicely | M | 54 | 3 days | 6/24/2009 | 5 | BV/garnerella | Prescribed 500mg 2x day for 7 days. loose stools and more bathroom trips, cool with that. Fine until the 6th day. Stomach was tight and bloated with cramps. When I eat or even drink water my stomach feels worse. Feel a little dizzy, but overall I'm fine. Good news, I have one more dose and no more rotted fish smell...Yeh! | It is working because on the six day I had sex with my spouse and there was no stanky smell as it was before the treatment. The smell during sex is what alerted me to seek treatment; other than that I wouldn't have known as I had no other symptoms. I sought immediate (the very next day) treatment once I knew something was wrong. | F | 53 | 7 days | 6/22/2009 | 4 | Dental abscess | I'm taking 3 a day for 5 days, and the only thing I've had is a bit fo drowsiness - a nap a day - and a weird feeling stomach. Not necessarily bad, but just weird. They appear to work pretty quickly and feel fine, the pain's almost gone. | F | 22 | 5 days | 6/20/2009 | 4 | Throat infection, Swollen uvula | Cracking headaches, generally feeling low and flu like | Make sure you drink lots of water. This is a strong antibiotic that will make you feel dreadful but if its making you feel bad, its doing the business. | M | 37 | 7 days | 6/20/2009 | 3 | Bacterial vaginotis | More bowel movements than usual, lighter in color as well. Right stomach, lessened appetite. Foul, foul taste. | I am currently on my fourth day of a seven day treatment, with two 500 mg capsules a day. It seems to be working though my symptoms of vaginal odor and discharge are still not completely gone. I have taken a single dose of this before for the same infection, and that left my mouth tasting like metal for days. This time doesn't seem to be so bad. Worst drug I've ever had to take. | F | 18 | 7 days | 6/19/2009 | 1 | vaginal infection | crying, stomach soreness, blood clots | Is anyone having blood clots? Im going to stop taking metronidazol today. I have never had side effects this bad with any drug. Please post if you are having blood clots and stomach tenderness. | M | 24 | 7 days | 6/18/2009 | 1 | BV | I was prescribed 400mg 3 times a day for 5 days. The tablets don't taste great but the first couple of days the only side effects I noticed were a bad taste in my mouth and a furry tongue. By the 4th day I felt like I had flu: sore throat, achey, falling asleep. Initially it didn't occur to me that it could be linked to the tablets. But the next day I talked to the Dr and he said to stop taking it. A week later I'm still feeling off balance. Feel generally unwell, weepy, a bit hungover and even though I'm getting a full night's sleep still feel tired in the mornings. | I was warned not to drink when taking this medication, but I wish I'd had some warning on the nasty side effects. I'm so glad I found this site as I wondering what on earth was going on. There's no way I'd take this medication again. | F | 41 | 3.5 days | 6/17/2009 | 2 | I had 3-4 drinks while at the beach my second day taking and threw up that night. I was in Miami and couldn't even go out that night. I was dizzy, nausea, fatigue and just "out of it". Now, day 4 I am still very tired. Almost ready to call the doctor but are trying to stick it out. Do not drink while on this. I thought I was going to have to go to the hospital. I've drank before when on medication that states not to drink, and never had a problem. This pill is not one to drink on. | No alcohol. Unless you want to vomit!! | F | 29 | 4 days | 6/15/2009 | 3 | stomach infection possible parasite | nausea, dark brownish/redish urine, fatigue, bloating in lower belly (unlike many others, no emotional problems) | On 500 mg, 3x a day for 7 days. As if it wasn't worse enough that for a month I have been sick (diarrhea) every time I ate, but now I HAVE to eat 3x a day to take this stuff & it makes me feel like throwing up. I sure hope I'm better after day 7, I'm only on day 2 and I feel awful! | F | 26 | 7 days | 6/12/2009 | 1 | Possible C-Diff | Sneezing, Coughing, Fever, chills, tirdness, bodyaches, headaches, stuffy nose...the list goes on. | HORRIBLE medication - Also watch out because the presribe metro to dogs to.. If I feel this bad I will make sure my dog is never given Metronidazole. | F | 26 | 10 days | 6/11/2009 | 5 | Giardia lamblia | None, except for discolouration of my urine. The text books describe it as yellow-green colour, but mine looked like Coke. | I had had the Gargia lamblia for 17 days before I started taking the metronidazone - don't ask! The dose was 1,000 mg twice a day, for three days. After reading some of the problems some of the rest of you had reported on this site I was a bit worried about side effects. I don't drink alcohol, so maybe that helped. I do need to be re-tested in two weeks time, but how I feel at the moment I expect the re-test is alright. | M | 48 | 3 days | 6/7/2009 | 1 | possible PID | I'm only on my second day and I'm supposed to take this for two weeks??? I think I'm losing my mind. I will admit that I have a weak stomach when it comes to medicine, but I have only been able to keep down saltine crackers and even that was a chore. I don't feel right mentally or emotionally. I feel so out of it and tired but I can't sleep. | I don't think I am even going to finish taking these meds. I've never felt this bad before. I'm jumpy and nervous and can't stay focused at all. | F | 18 | 2 weeks | 6/6/2009 | 3 | diverticulosis | severe anxiety, depression, mental fog, sleepiness | it works, but side effects make me wish for an alternative | M | 28 | 10 days | 6/5/2009 | 2 | Bv | Ok. I feel much better now that I'm reading this ... The sheet they give u at the doctor says if u experience any of these symptoms u need 2 contact them immediately and I was just about 2 freak out. This Is day 3 and I feel horrible nausea,dizzy Huge HORSE pill... Decrease of appetite ( u are right) food does not taste the same... Can't really sleep. | It's makes u feel really bad . But maybe it does the job | F | 23 | 3 days | 6/5/2009 | 4 | Bacterial Vaginosis | I am currently on metronidazole and on my fifth day. I have had no problems, but the nasty taste and tiredness. I have been drinking alchohol on this medicine just tonight to test it since I havnt been nausiated. I have drank a 23 oz of beer and currently am on a cup of wine and I am perfectly fine. | F | 19 | | 5/30/2009 | 4 | possible bacteria infection | abdominal pain (my belly HURT!), horrible taste in my mouth, felt dizzy, somewhat itchy, I think my eyes were bothering me, but can't be sure it was from that. Thankfully I only had to take this one day, I don't think I could have handled any more, mostly cause of the horrible taste. the pain in the belly did hurt, but was tolerable, I just moaned a lot :) | F | 36 | 1 days | 5/28/2009 | 5 | vaginal bacterial infection | I had NO side effects at all. I am also taking medication for depression, Celexa and I was fine. It does taste nasty though. Did anyone attempt to drink alcohol while on this medication? | F | 44 | 5 days | 5/23/2009 | 1 | Acute PID- Pelvic Infection | I am highly sensitive to medications. I am so thankful to have seen this sight- now everything makes sense; unfortunately, today is my last day! Symptoms have included: dizziness, loss of thought/unfocused/foggy, metallic taste in mouth, constant naseau, broken out red/bump face, extreme moodiness, depression like feelings, crying at nothing/overly emotional, lack of appetite. This might some it all up- I will NEVER take this again. | Took this pill for 10 days and 3 times a day. | F | 25 | 10 days | 5/16/2009 | 1 | yeast infection/bv | Depression,crazy mood swings, tomato faced flushing, stomach ache, crying, facial breakout, hives | Worst antibitoic I have ever taken- been off of it for a day and my face is still red and ugly with bumps- did not clear my yeast infection/bv either | F | 26 | 3 days | 5/14/2009 | 1 | gum infection | dizziness. chronic stomache cramps. nausea and fatigue | took this medication for a gum infection and stopped after 3 days due to the side effects. i am now 3 days on and still am exhausted and off food with occasional stomache cramps and to top it off the gum is still infected so another trip to the dentist required. | F | 46 | 3 days | 5/13/2009 |
